(mbc.net) Gabriel
Shear (John Travolta) heads a secretive government organization whose sole
purpose is retaliating against terrorist attacks involving American
victims. In the 80s the DEA created a
drug operation called Swordfish that was later stalled; the money in its
account has since accumulated interest to the sum of $9.5 billion.

With
Shear's agency on the verge of shutdown, he needs finances to keep it running
and hires hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) to break into a bank's mainframe
and retrieve the money for him.
Explosions, action, and betrayals quickly ensue.

Swordfish
had a production budget of $102 million and earned $147 million
internationally. The picture won a BET
Award.
